Hi all,

As of 3 March 2010 I am a member of the Wisconsin Air National Guard.

Very nice. I hope all things go well for you. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Congratulations...

An excellent Trade, which will serve you well in Civilian life, upon leaving the Military.

Air National Guard? Should be a piece of cake. Now, if you want a REAL challenging job in the military....

Very nice. After you get a little experience, you should look into getting some civilian certificates for avionics. I don't remember what the certificates are called, I'm not an avionics guy, but I think that they all involve a written test only. If I remember right, anyone can take the tests too, no schooling is required so all you have to do is study and know your job.

I realize how easy the guard is and that it is probably a gateway for a decent future in avionics, but my decision was basically economic.  I've had a few temp. jobs recently but I've pretty much been laid off since Xmas 2008.  Since I want to return to school (Engineering and possibly dabble in teaching), and I can't afford it, this seemed like a good option.  Not only financially, but experience-wise, a great resume addition, and it won't hurt the personality/self-esteem/confidence either. 

AWESOME!

Nice, it'll be well worth the experience and fun.
